Opportunity Summary:
EONS 2011 Innovations in Global Climate Change Education (often referenced under NASA's Education Opportunities in NASA STEM, or EONS 2011) is a NASA Headquarters funding opportunity released under the Minority University Research and Education Program (MUREP). It was issued as a NASA Research Announcement (NRA) identified as NNH112HA002C (and appears in some source records as NNH11ZHA002C), with the broader intent of piloting a single, consolidated place where NASA Office of Education opportunities could be found. In plain terms, this announcement was designed to sponsor education and research-linked STEM efforts that connect students and faculty to NASA-relevant work, with a particular emphasis on strengthening participation from Minority Serving Institutions and the communities they serve. The climate change education framing sits within that larger EONS umbrella, which includes multiple program elements described in appendices to the NRA.
A central purpose of the opportunity is to advance federal priorities around inclusion in STEM by expanding NASA engagement with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), and other Minority Universities (OMUs). The solicitation explicitly ties this to presidential executive orders focused on educational excellence and institutional capacity building for these groups. Through MUREP, NASA aims to increase access for underrepresented and underserved students (undergraduate through graduate) and faculty to participate in NASA-related research, mission-driven technology development, and education activities that build pathways into STEM careers. Beyond short-term project deliverables, the program is also positioned as part of a national strategy to improve recruitment, persistence, and retention of underrepresented students in STEM disciplines.
Funding is provided as either a grant or a cooperative agreement depending on the nature of the project and the role NASA expects to play. Typical award sizes are described as institutional awards ranging from about $50,000 per year for focused, limited efforts up to $300,000 per year for more extensive, mission-focused activities. The overall funding available varies by program element, generally ranging from under $1 million up to around $3 million per element, which means the number of awards could range from only a few to potentially several dozen, depending on proposal quality, program priorities, and how many strong proposals are submitted. Periods of performance are commonly two to four years, with flexibility for shorter or longer projects up to a maximum of five years.
Eligibility is primarily geared toward U.S. Minority Serving Institutions, and the lead institution generally must be recognized on U.S. Department of Education MSI lists current as of 12/31/2008 or later. Institutions that serve substantial Hispanic enrollment but are not formally designated as an HSI are told they may submit documentation showing that full-time Hispanic enrollment is at least 25 percent of total enrollment. The announcement also indicates that certain program elements may allow additional applicant types such as community colleges, public school districts with high minority enrollment, and nonprofit organizations. A wide range of other entities (including NASA Centers, other federal agencies, FFRDCs, non-MSI higher education institutions, state and local agencies, tribal government agencies, science museums and planetariums, and for-profit companies) are generally expected to participate through partnerships with an eligible lead organization rather than applying as the lead. For collaborations involving TCUs where a non-TCU is the lead, the solicitation requires letters of support from the TCU signed by an authorized institutional representative.
The opportunity uses NASA's NSPIRES system as the primary portal, with electronic submission required either through NSPIRES or via Grants.gov (with the important caveat that organizations using Grants.gov still must be registered in NSPIRES). The announcement emphasizes early registration and setup because both organizations and individual participants (principal investigators and co-investigators) must have NSPIRES accounts, and proposals must be submitted by an authorized organizational representative. It also notes NASA's policy for non-U.S. organizations: participation is generally on a no-exchange-of-funds basis consistent with 14 C.F.R. 1260.12(e)(2), unless a specific program element states otherwise.
Key dates include a release date of January 7, 2011, with Notices of Intent requested for most elements beginning February 2, 2011 and running through March 14, 2011. Proposal due dates begin March 10, 2011 and extend through April 11, 2011 depending on the specific program element. In the Grants.gov style listing for the IGCCE reference, the posted date appears as February 28, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 18, 2011 and an archive date of April 17, 2011, reflecting how different systems sometimes display subsets of the broader NRA timeline. The solicitation advises applicants to track updates and amendments through NSPIRES and notes that NASA planned to issue a subsequent EONS NRA after the amendment window through approximately February 2012.
Program specifics, including the particular education or climate change education focus areas being solicited, are organized in the appendices and tables within the NRA (including tables that list element-by-element due dates). For applicant support and policy/process questions, the general point of contact identified is Dr. Carl Person, Manager of MUREP at NASA Headquarters, reachable via NASAEONS2011@nasaprs.com, while individual program officers are listed per program element in the appendices for technical and content-related questions.
